Chapter 117: The 72 Legends Exposed, A New Legend Beast Tamer!!
The news of the Bingqing team captain’s loss to a Mid-Tier newcomer, a crushing 0:7 defeat, spread like wildfire throughout the 2nd-level Beast Tamer Alliance. Normally, a loss against a newcomer, especially for a team of Bingqing’s rank, wouldn’t attract much attention from the top teams. They would just laugh it off…
But Mid-Tier…
That was unbelievable…
A Royal-Tier pet beast drawing against a Mid-Tier pet beast?
What a joke…
This required reviewing the recordings.
The Soul Hunters, the 5th-ranked team, still sulking after their defeat against Dead Ash yesterday, hadn’t even bothered to watch the other matches, each member retreating to their rooms to brood…
But seeing this news, they wished they could relive yesterday and witness this unbelievable match.
After all, the Bingqing team captain was known for her cold and aloof demeanor, and her expressions yesterday had been truly entertaining, a humiliated ice queen.
If Moon Rabbit’s debut had only caused a ripple in the Beast Tamer Alliance, then in Baiyue Province, it was a tsunami…
Overnight, news and stories about Moon Rabbit Lian Xing flooded the region, avian pet beasts flying everywhere, spreading newspapers. Even those who never paid attention to virtual battles or the Academy League, those who didn’t even know about their region’s promotion, were forced to watch Lian Xing’s news.
In the wilderness, groups of wild High-Tier pet beasts gathered, their heads shaking as they looked at the news reports, their expressions puzzled, seemingly unable to comprehend the significance of a 2nd-level region.
And the thousands of stocking brands endorsed by Lian Xing were completely sold out.
On the streets of Baiyue Province, black stockings were nowhere to be seen.
Black stocking manufacturers declared bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, at the “I’ll Measure Your Code” team’s training base, a small welcome ceremony was held for Moon Rabbit’s arrival. The recording of yesterday’s match was playing on the large projection screen.
No matter how many times they watched it, it was still unbelievable…
The Mist Colt…its calmness against a Royal-Tier pet beast and its explosive speed at the end didn’t resemble a Mid-Tier pet beast at all…
At the table laden with food, the woman in the golden cloak, the reserve member, looked at the golden-haired girl with starry eyes, her expression complex. When she had brought Moon Rabbit here yesterday, she had thought she would be gaining a companion on the bench.
But…she had become an official member.
Achieving a draw against the Bingqing team captain in 4v4 Hell Survival was a significant achievement.
With this, the “Measure Your Code” team’s biggest weakness had been addressed. Reaching the top 10 before the end of the season wasn’t impossible.
Their only concern was that the teams they had faced before weren’t very strong. In the remaining 17 matches, they would be facing the 4th, 2nd, 1st, and 3rd ranked teams. A Waterloo was inevitable.
As everyone was lost in their thoughts, the woman with the purple scorpion braid walked over to Lian Xing’s seat.
“Let me reintroduce myself. I’m Zi Ye, the captain of ‘I’ll Measure Your Code,’ specializing in 5v5 Siege Battles.”
“Moon Rabbit, the 4v4 Hell Survival round will be your responsibility from now on. If you have other pet beasts you want to use in other rounds, you can submit a request.”
“Your salary is one Royal-Tier crystal per month. And you can also exchange your earned points for combat skills and crystals from the team’s inventory.” Captain Zi Ye’s friendly tone was a stark contrast to her initial coldness when Lian Xing first arrived.
It seemed Moon Rabbit Lian Xing was now a high-priority member of the “Measure Your Code” team.
Lian Xing sipped her drink and nodded obediently.
Then, Zi Ye introduced the other team members.
Black Magpie, the mother-daughter duo, the wife specializing in 5v5 Siege Battles, the daughter specializing in 3v3 Rotation Battles.
Baimu, the older woman with green hair, transferred from the “I Really Want to Eat Shit” team, who, after failing to master Awakening, had resigned herself to the 1v1 Single Pet Battle round.
Mianyang, who also hadn’t mastered Awakening, originally responsible for losing in the 4v4 round, but now, thanks to Lian Xing’s arrival, she had been liberated, becoming a member of the 3v3 Rotation Battle team.
There were two other members who had appeared earlier, but Zi Ye didn’t introduce them, simply gesturing towards the reserve members’ seats.
Lian Xing realized that the “Measure Your Code” team’s core members were only four, the other two being rotating reserve members.
Simply having a Royal-Tier pet beast wasn’t enough to become an official member.
You had to prove yourself in battle…
And Moon Rabbit, in her debut match as a newcomer, had achieved a feat that was unimaginable for the other reserve members.
After the welcome ceremony, Lian Xing returned to her private room. She casually lay on the bed, glancing at the messages flooding her phone. The most prominent one was from the Great Lord Biluo.
[Old Hag: How do you feel?]
[Lian Xing: Not bad. A bit more…interesting…than I expected~~~]
[Old Hag: So…you’ve seen that thing, right?]
[Old Hag: I’m curious…as a Legend Beast Tamer…are you also afraid of it?]
[Lian Xing: Eh, not really. Pay a deposit of one Viral Species Monarch-Tier crystal, and I’ll deal with her at the end of the season. Otherwise, I can’t help you. You’ll just have to die with regrets~~~]
[Old Hag: …]
[Lian Xing: I’ll give you three days to think about it.]
[Old Hag: …]
Was this robbery or extortion…?
The Great Lord Biluo was speechless.
She was a 20,000-year-old…old lady… Wasn’t this little brat afraid of angering her to death?
But it was curious about what Lian Xing wanted with a Viral Species Monarch-Tier crystal.
Why not a Biological Species or an Elemental Species Monarch-Tier crystal, but specifically a Viral Species one?
Could it be that the Mist Colt was even more valuable than a Legend or a perfect evolution?
Meanwhile, as the Great Lord Biluo pondered, Lian Xing turned off her phone and rested. Although the Great Lord Biluo had promised to destroy its own crystal for her pet beast…
What was the point of a Mechanical Species crystal?
And she wouldn’t easily believe such a promise. Forget about what would happen if a Monarch-Tier pet beast went back on its word, just the consequences of defeating Dead Ash would be enough to cripple her.
Defeating a descendant of an Ancient Species…
Would the Beast Tamer Alliance really allow such a thing to happen?
Moreover, if the Great Lord Biluo didn’t provide any resources or support, how could she possibly surpass that Ancient Juvenile Species within six months?
If it wanted something for nothing, it should just give up…
“…”
“…”
“Whoosh——!!!”
However, just as Lian Xing was starting to feel sleepy, a dense mist enveloped her. Sensing this familiar aura, she opened her eyes in surprise.
What the…? The white deer space teleportation!?
But they had just been there three days ago…
Forced summoning!?
Lian Xing thought, her vision blurring.
In the next second, the world spun.
When she opened her eyes again, she was surrounded by mist.
And then…
Lian Xing’s gaze was immediately drawn to the blue-haired girl with a fishtail. At some point, the tear marks on her eyes had flowed out, forming two teardrop-shaped, sky-blue birthmarks on her cheeks.
Meanwhile, Thunder Fly, the armless girl, and the white-haired beast girl also noticed the change in the fishtailed girl, their expressions filled with shock.
Because this change wasn’t just cosmetic…
Her entire aura had become unbelievably holy, ethereal, and pure, as if her body had been cleansed by water, transforming into a pure water construct…
It was even difficult to distinguish between human and pet beast…
“So it was you!!!!” Seeing the fishtailed girl’s transformation, Thunder Fly exclaimed in surprise, finally understanding.
Hearing this, the other two hybrid girls, along with Lian Xing, looked confused, having no idea what was going on.
A few seconds later, the deer in the white wedding dress emerged from the mist. It glanced at Lian Xing, then looked at the fishtailed girl with a pleased expression.
“After having her levels reset by Rainwater…in just two months she has returned to Royal-Tier and even attracted Rainwater’s attention again…”
“But this time…Rainwater has crossed mountains and seas just for you…”
“It seems…the day you become a Legend Beast Tamer is not far off—”
“…”
“…”
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned to shock.
Even Lian Xing’s heart skipped a beat.
Rainwater…although its fame was far less than Calamity Sun, Moonwalker, or Star Sand…it was a true newborn Royal-Tier pet beast.
If Rainwater hadn’t been born a Royal-Tier, but a High-Tier or Commander-Tier, it would have probably already formed a contract with this fishtailed girl…
It seemed…a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer wasn’t enough for Rainwater…
That was close…almost missed it!!! Lian Xing thought, surprised.
She had assumed that she could just slack off for two or three years before revealing Star Sand.
She had underestimated these four girls.
She hadn’t expected someone even stronger than Dead Ash, the Ancient Juvenile Species, to appear in such a short time.
A Royal-Tier 72 Legends…what kind of concept was that…?
At this moment, facing the bride deer’s praise, the fishtailed girl simply nodded, her expression indifferent, as if her emotions had also faded…
Then, the bride deer glanced at the other four girls.
This time, its gaze didn’t linger on Lian Xing.
“Alright, the other four can leave now. We have things to discuss~~~”
“…”
“…”
“Congratulations, Tears Maiden,” Thunder Fly said to the fishtailed girl, her expression complex, as her body began to fade.
Clearly, news of the incident at Worry-Free Pond had reached Youyou Leize, but the other three locations hadn’t received the news yet.
Tears Maiden?
Was that the fishtailed girl’s name?
The armless girl and the white-haired beast girl thought, making a mental note to research Tears Maiden of Worry-Free Pond upon returning.
Meanwhile, as she was being teleported, Lian Xing’s expression remained calm, but her thoughts were chaotic…
“Whoosh——!!”
The white mist dissipated, and Lian Xing’s vision returned to the “Measure Your Code” team’s resting room. She immediately sat up on the bed, lost in thought.
“Although that Tears Maiden almost contracted Rainwater…my advantage of already having Star Sand is gone…”
“After all, contracting a Royal-Tier Legend is much more difficult than those newborn High-Tier pet beasts like Star Sand and Calamity Sun. Even if I reveal Star Sand now, I won’t win Moonwalker, I’ll just be taken advantage of by the Moonwalker mother…”
“Although, that doesn’t sound too bad…” Lost in her fantasies, Lian Xing’s face flushed slightly.
But she quickly dismissed these unrealistic thoughts.
Although having a top-tier Legend as a wife sounded nice, with her physical condition, she couldn’t handle that level of activity…
So, instead of using cheats to skip levels, she wanted to defeat Tears Maiden fair and square…!!!
“It seems…Star Sand also needs to evolve soon…”
“Although it has almost fulfilled all the requirements, its level is a problem…sigh…”
“…”
“…”
Three days later, a piece of news from Worry-Free Pond shocked the entire pet beast world.
[October 7th, 427621, 2:10 AM, Rainwater, one of the 72 Legends, descended upon the 2nd-level region, Worry-Free Pond, again after two months. After making eye contact with a girl with teardrop-shaped pupils, they joined forces and defeated a Monarch-Tier pet beast!!!]
[A new Legend Beast Tamer is born, her title — Tears Maiden]
[A new generation rises in Worry-Free Pond, the champion of this year’s Interdimensional Beast Tamer League is practically decided…!!!]
2nd-level region, Beast Tamer Alliance.
In the Dead Ash team’s training room, the girl with long, silvery-grey hair calmly ripped up the newspaper. And the small, blue creature lying on her lap, as if sensing something, bared its teeth at the picture of the blue-haired girl with teardrop-shaped eyes.
Meanwhile, in the “Measure Your Code” team’s resting room, the members, led by Captain Zi Ye, were speechless, staring at the news report.
And Lian Xing casually glanced at her phone.
[Old Hag: Alright, I agree. A Viral Species Monarch-Tier crystal will be delivered soon.]
[Old Hag: Don’t disappoint me. ????????]
Seeing the reply, Lian Xing’s starry eyes curved into a smile.
She had successfully extorted the old hag…
Now she could finally start the Mist Colt’s High-Tier evolution.
And this evolution path would be beyond everyone’s imagination…
Because—
After consuming a Monarch-Tier crystal, the Mist Colt would transcend the concept of Super Rare Species!!!
